Kenneth Nicoletti opened to 60,000 and was then three-bet to 180,000 by Daniel Hirose to his left, which he called.
The flop came out 6♣2♣3♣ and Nicoletti checked, Hirose bet 120,000, and Nicoletti called. The turn was the 6♥, which paired the board, and Nicoletti check-called again, this time for 250,000.
The river fell the 3♥, which double-paired the board and after another check from Nicoletti, Horose moved all in for 410,000.
Nicoletti went into the tank for some time, long enough for the clock to be called on him. As his timer reached zero, Nicoletti made the call and tabled A♥J♦ for ace-high, but was then shown Q♣Q♠ by Hirose for a bigger two pair to scoop the pot.
Left extremely short, Nicoletti got it in the very next hand with A♦10♥ but ran into K♥K♦ and after failing to improve, was sent to the payout desk.

In one of the first hands of the day, short-stacked Guillermo De La Vega moved all in preflop and was called by Tzahi Dagan to put him at risk.
Guillermo De La Vega : A♠K♠
Tzahi Dagan: 8♦8♣
The runout of 10♠6♣J♥5♣5♥ meant that Dagan's pocket eights held to send De La Vega to the rail.
Meanwhile, on a neighboring table, Kenneth O'Donnell got it all in preflop against Samuel Shon, who covered.
Kenneth O'Donnell: A♦Q♣
Samuel Shon: A♠J♠
Although O'Donnell held the superior ace, the runout of 9♣2♠7♦J♥3♠ gave a jack to Shon to win the pot and sent him to the payout desk.
